*** LAST WEEK ***
Exhibition Casa Maria Bottero / Umberto Riva. Photography , is on view at , Via Spallanzani 19, Milan, until July 27, 2024
Tuesday through Saturday, 10 am–1 pm and 2:30–7 pm
The book published alongside the exhibition is still available at Spazio

Casa Maria Bottero is an apartment designed by Umberto Riva for his family on the top floor of an eight-story housing cooperative on Via Paravia, in Milan, Italy. Riva worked on the project from 1965 to 1967 and Giorgio Casali photographed the completed work in 1969 for publication in the architecture magazine Domus and, a few months later, in Zodiac.
In the fall of 2023, Maria Bottero showed us around her home. Her words highlight some of the most poetic elements of Riva’s design and accompany the photographs of Allegra Martin and Francesco Paleari who, for the first time since 1969, have fully documented the home’s interiors and objects collected over the years. The building and Casa Maria Bottero are considered Umberto Riva’s first major project.

Join us next Wednesday, June 12, at 6:30 pm, together with François Charbonnet and Francisco Moura Veiga for the presentation of Portraits. Architecture Parables, edited by François Charbonnet and Patrick Heiz, and published by Park Books. In this volume they present the quintessence of their thinking and they reveal the approaches they take in their design methodology as well as in their teaching: an original and thought-provoking challenge to ideas about art, perception, and architectural design.

Join us next Thursday, June 6, at 6:30 pm, together with Luca Cosentino for the presentation of Wetlands Books, an editorial project, crossroad of gazes on the life and future of Venice and all those places that share its fragility and potential.

Vi aspettiamo giovedì prossimo, 6 giugno, alle 18:30, insieme a Luca Cosentino alla presentazione di wetlands, un progetto editoriale dedicato ai temi della sostenibilità sociale e ambientale e alle sfide dell’Antropocene. La proposta editoriale si muove nei territori di intersezione tra fiction e non-fiction, promuovendo testi che toccano temi di carattere ambientale, urbanistico, sociale, antropologico e culturale. La città di Venezia, metafora di problematiche e soluzioni di valenza globale, è al centro della progettualità di wetlands, che intreccia prospettive internazionali con idee generate in città, grandi autori e nuove firme, narrazione e ricerca.

Join us next Wednesday, May 29th, at 6:30 pm, together with Alberto Saibene and Mauro Bersani for the presentation of Storie di un'altra Italia. Incontri e ritratti published by Edizioni Casagrande. Building "another Italy" is the intent that, in the years after the Second World War, united men and women from different origins and backgrounds, often leading them to meet and work together in the belief that culture is the cement on which to build a true democracy.

Vi aspettiamo mercoledì prossimo, 29 maggio, alle 18:30, insieme a Alberto Saibene e Mauro Bersani alla presentazione del volume Storie di un'altra Italia. incontri e ritratti pubblicato da Edizioni Casagrande. Costruire «un’altra Italia» è l’intento che, negli anni del secondo dopoguerra, accomuna uomini e donne dalle origini e dai trascorsi diversi, portandoli spesso a incontrarsi e a lavorare insieme nella convinzione che la cultura sia il cemento su cui edificare una democrazia compiuta.
